When you think of branding, you might think of the basics: a fantastic logo, a clever tagline, a carefully chosen color palette. But in reality, branding goes way beyond your marketing “stuff” — it’s the emotional connection you create with your clients. From the moment they stumble across your pictures , till the moment they got the final photogallery and every moment in between. So if a brand isn’t your logo, colors, and fonts, what is it? Strong branding doesn’t end with your marketing materials. It should also come through in the way you write, the way you dress, the way you connect with clients, the way you network with vendors, and the way you deliver your final product. Every contact with clients is part of your brand.
A brand represents the whole package – logo, color, and fonts are one part of the package – but it also includes a promise, mission, voice, vision, service delivery and an understanding of who are your clients. In today’s service-oriented society, service is rapidly increasing in importance.
